Q. What is “[Im]possible Dialogue”?

“[Im]possible Dialogue” is an experience of numerous failures we encounter as dialogues in arts and education is being ceaselessly deconstructed and reconstructed. To collect and expand these experiences, our team opened a public workshop called “Width.” In “Width,” we are conversing with artists of various genres, focusing on the concept of “Here and now” and using art language. In “Depth” sessions, where we will expand our experiments and demonstrate the “[im]possibility of dialogues” with art language.

Q. What kind of people, on what common ground, came together as <Individual Common>?

Five people met at a study group to indentify and extend the value and direction of arts education through teaching artists’ voices. We are an organizer, artists, and researchers, and came together as <Individual Common> members. We are currently working on exploring “[Im]possible Dialogue.” Pondering upon arts and culture education interactive through art language, we want to weave our exploration and examination of it into practice.

Q. What is the final mission for <Individual Common>?

Through the process of expanding individual art language, with fellow teaching artists, we would like to continue questioning and exploring arts and culture education we are practicing.

Q. Through what activities will <Individual Common> interact?

After having three sessions of “Width” to understand what mutual interaction through art language is, we will have “Depth” sessions, a gathering for communication and networking to develop and expand art language. With participants we meet in “Width” sessions, we will continue “Depth” to do action research. You can find more information on our digital archive channel.

  • What topics can we extract from the dialogues between distinct art languages to achieve a possible discussion? When do we feel our language was isolated during the conversation, even in the same language (Korean)? Conversation on what members and participants wanted to share and discuss including questions.

#language

  • Three workshops consisted of the language of the body and senses. Contemplate what you felt through workshops.
  • Among countless conversations and encounters, in what sense do we meet or fail to meet others in discussions?
  • How will we form and maintain solidarity with those going through social suffering?
  • As we head to the “individual common” sphere, where can the individual and the collective sphere intersect?
  • Replace the speaker of Frederick Douglass’ poem with yourself. And discover the sense of collectivity in your narrative.

#Daily_Moments #Sharing

  • Sharing individual daily lives and activities, we reflected on the meaning of this project and prepared for the upcoming Depth sessions.
  • After seeing Artspace Boan 1942’s Data Dump Exhibition, we explored how far communication and collaboration can go by using and exchanging each other’s art language.
  • The exhibition inspired us to conceive the possible direction of an “[Im]possible dialogue” by examining the interplay of sculpture as art language, music, and technology.

#Celebrity #Lineup #Nothing_Goes_as_Planned

  • We live in a time when artists should not be afraid of being celebrities. Then, how are we going to face this reality?
  • Am I a being who speaks through artistic works or who explains by participation?
  • Nothing goes as planned.
  • To meet another being, I must exist as I am.
  • Arts itself is a communicative tool.
